Babe (1995) ✰✰✰✰

Based on Dick King Smith’s book The Sheep Pig, this utterly charming family comedy proved to be a huge hit with audiences and critics alike – it was nominated for seven Oscars, including Best Picture. James Cromwell stars as the kindly farmer who wins a cute piglet at a county fair. It seems the porker, known as Babe and voiced by Christine Cavanaugh, is destined to be served as a roast dinner, until he shows a remarkable talent for herding sheep. Will that be enough to save him and also win over some of the more sceptical animals on the farm? Jim Henson’s Creature Shop provided the stunning fake pigs, geese and horses while computer-generated wizardry helped the beasts deliver some rather witty dialogue. ✰✰✰✰

Adapted by screenwriter Erik Linthorst from the 2011 Belgian film Hasta La Vista, Come As You Are is a warm-hearted comedy drama directed by Richard Wong, which embarks on a road trip with three men who are keen to take advantage of a very special establishment across the border in Montreal. Scotty (Grant Rosenmeyer) is a paraplegic, who attends a clinic for physical therapy and takes an immediate dislike to new arrival Matt (Hayden Szeto), a handsome former athlete who requires a wheelchair. This rivalry sparks an unlikely friendship when virgin Scotty learns about a brothel in Canada which specialises in catering to clientele with disabilities. The duo convince mild-mannered blind clinic worker Mo (Ravi Patel) to join the hush-hush expedition and hire nurse, Sam (Gabourey Sidibie), to be their driver.
